quite. i'm sayin you seem to think you know all about how multicore applications are distributed amongst the CPU. all i'm asking is for some reference to back up your original assertion.

really? seeing a CPU meter change in the application context tells you all you need to know?

oh, and if you can be bothered searching ableton devs/reps have discussed it on the board. Although maybe not in as much detail as you'd like.
heh. "go to here if you want to know"
that's your answer to it all?

gold. so you have no intellectual basis whether or not what you're being spun is the truth or not?

No cop out, my initial statement was all I was prepared to offer on the matter as far as arguing the point goes. you weren't convinced and that's A-OK with me. This current exchange isn't about me proving anything, it's about you insisting I prove something and me saying I don't care if you believe me or not. And round and round.

Intellectual basis ? I have no electronic engineering background if that's what you're getting at ? But back around 2006 when these discussions were taking place more often (seems you've been living under a rock) I took the claims on board despite having no...ahem...'intellectual basis' (jerkoff-smiley.gif) to verify how plausible those claims were, and in practise they matched up with my experience. one track = one core. Certainly with ableton live. So I accepted what was being said by the devs as truth.

Now, that's that. Or do you still want to believe I'm invested in proving this to you with empirical results ?

damn. all i ever wanTed was someone to tell me that "one track = one core"
don't any of "you" get that?

so basically your saying you have no idea but what ever anyone tells you that sounds at least slightly plausible is A-OK by cos fuck no one else has told you different?

jesus, how hard can it be?
it's generally accepted that the CPU distribution per track equates to

ONE-TRACK = ONE-CORE

Everyone seems to swear by this but no one can offer any evidence from any DAW producers that this is the case?

for the record I didn't care if you were willing to take my word on it or not. As I stated from the onset.

Now you know better, we can all move on with our lives.

That's exactly how I'd hoped you'd concede.

Thanks!
